The history of marquise diamonds

The marquise cut, sometimes referred to as a football or boat cut due to its shape, is a smooth curved cut, with pointed ends. 58 facets give the diamond an exceptional finish, with the clean lines forming an oval-like shape. The first marquise cut can be dated to the 18th century when King Louis XV of France ordered a jewellery designer to create a cut that resembled the lips of his mistress, Jean Antoinette Poisson.

Since the 18th century, the style of marquise diamonds has altered slightly to become the cut we are familiar with today. In popular culture, the cut is perhaps most easily recognised as the cut of the first engagement ring Victoria Beckham owned. Other notable marquise diamonds include the Star of China pendant necklace; in 2013, the pendant sold for £8,726,436. Another example of marquise diamonds being used in fine jewellery is the mysterious Anonymous Diamond Necklace, which features a line of 24-carat marquise diamonds and was sold at an auction for £352,188 in 2011.

If I pawn my marquise cut diamond, how will you determine its value?

Marquise cut diamonds are sometimes referred to as having a ‘navette’ shape, which translates as ‘little boat’. These gems are typically made up of 58 facets, with 33 on the crown and 25 on the pavilion, so that the finished piece resembles the hull of a small ship. Sometimes Marquise diamonds are cut with a French Tip, replacing the point’s bezel facet with a star. Marquise gems are often the stunning centerpiece of an item of jewelry, making them extremely valuable and much sought-after.

During the valuation of your marquise diamond, an expert member of the New Bond Street Pawnbrokers team will determine its pawn value based on current market prices. Some of the factors our experts will consider include:

Clarity:

Only a diamond expert can provide an accurate measure of the clarity of your marquise diamond.

Cut:

While the marquise cut is known to be luxurious, the quality of the cut can affect the value of the stone. For example, the points of the cut must be in perfect symmetry.

Colour:

Naturally coloured diamonds are often considered more valuable than white diamonds; however, a diamond can lose some of its value if it has been dyed artificially.

Carat:

The weight and carat of the marquise diamond are physical aspects of the diamond which can be measured to ascertain its value.

Other factors can increase the value of your marquise diamond, such as its heritage. If you are wondering “what should I bring when I pawn my marquise diamond?” Ensure you bring all the diamond’s important documents with you, including its bill of sale.
